Description
The DIASource record given in the DPDD (in Table 1) does not contain the filterName that the source is detected in; it is stored in the CcdVisit table because of database normalization. Accordingly, the DPDD does not explicitly specify that the alert packet will identify which filter a DIASource was detected in (Section 4.5.1).
Since we must know the filter in order to interpret the flux measurements in an alert packet, I propose we clarify that filterName will be included with each DIASource in the alerts.
Based on previous discussion in DM-8050, I believe the filterName is already included as a foreign key in the DIASource cat schema, so this change only requires a documentation change.

DM-11247 Add additional alert packet contents to DPDD
- Done
Rather than phrasing this as adding filterName to DIASource, could we make a list of fields from the CcdVisit table that will also be included in alerts?
